Need more votes for transparent... that's my favorite color

But, no, really, a transparent case would rock.  Got my 64C transparent and it looks sweet even without internal lighting.

I will send money as soon as it is possible to get myself one! This is long time over due! Finally spare cases so I do not need to be afraid of doing a misstake everytime I modify something ony my A1200 case

Also would be great together with Jens miggy boards

Might have missed but will screws be provided, I got screws fitting but so other people knows?

Very interesting project, but what about new coloured keys? No point in buying a new case if I am stuck with an ancient yellowing beige keyboard :/

Take that, Franko!

Hello Everyone,

First i'd like to thank all of you for following us , I also thank the admin who activated my account ^^
This is an amazing adventure, and we can't wait to ship the first casings.

I'm going to start to work on our new website tonight, to give you all details about our new housings as well as the enhancements we'll add to it.

Our Kickstarter campaign should be available in a matter of hours now, as the Kickstarter team is currently reviewing it.

Please let me answer some of the questions you've raised in the previous posts:
- Indeed our new A1200 casing is a near-to-perfect match to an original commodore one.
Near-to-perfect, because we're adding some enhancements to it, regarding ports & slots for your expansion cards or HxC devices.

- Our new housings are going to be totally compatible with Reloaded A1200 motherboard by Jens. Individual computers are going to produce two versions - A500 compatible & A1200 compatible - designs.

- Colored Keys : If our kickstarter campaign succeeds and the second stretch goal reached, we'll start to work right away to get you New A1200 keyboard as well as New Key Caps, matching our housings colors.

- We plan to deliver screws as well with our housings

- For legal reasons, we will not provide stickers / badges

This.  I am not on Facebook.  I am very much looking forward to acquiring a transparent or black case for my 1200s.

Well, I looked and didn't see a clear case version in the gallery, but White & Purple were also present but not on the chart . . .

It's strange all the A1200 keyboards are sold out now from AmigaKit. I'm hoping they were not purchased so someone can sell them for $128 on eBay now

I was going to buy a new keyboard to use with the new cases and of course, the new Amiga Reloaded board if/when it's produce by icomp.de. I guess I wasn't the only one with this idea.

Hi Wolfe,

If by clear you meant transparent, that's normal you did not see it.
We're working on our prototype, and we intend to make it transparent

For those who do not use Facebook, no worries.
We'll publish the link to our Kickstarter page (as soon as KS team has our campaign validated.. they're reviewing it.)

I'm also preparing a new webpage that'll replace the one actually at http://www.a1200.net
This new webpage will display all the datas about our new housings

Do not hesitate to ask me any questions you might have in the meantime.
We've also set up a dedicated skype account: a1200housings
You can contact me there for any reason, from 2pm to 4pm GMT+1, as often as i can

Thanks guys ^^
